[background=#1e1e1e]+Tabula Rasa: The Ghtroc 840 is a Light Freighter meant to be customize-able to suit every customer with a few modifications and add-ons. [/background]
Weaknesses[background=#1e1e1e]: [/background]
[background=#1e1e1e]-Tabula Rasa: As the Ghtroc 840 is a blank slate it's also unoptimized. While everything works, and does it job well enough, it's not a ship that's going to excel without a little love put into it. [/background]
Description[background=#1e1e1e]: The Ghtroc 840 is an attempt by Silk Holdings to cover a gap in coverage between the 17m Tachyon Freighter and the 50m Laekia Class Freighter, all while giving a retro-aesthetic that was classic in the Rebellion Era. With the orginal Ghtroc Industries having been out of business for the better part of eight centuries there was notably no patent or copywright issues present with absorbing the design. The 840 sports two quadl laser turrets, a general-purpose warhead launcher, and an autoblaster turret that' largely ineffective in space combat but very nifty when facing ground assault. Sheilding is standard, and hull strength is about average for a ship this size. Cargo space is improved from the old Ghtroc 720 model, to the tune of 180 metric tons. Those who buy new rather than used typically find a Daw Motors AUS UTE Speeder included with a new vessel for freight un/offloading purposes, along with a couple Silk-5 Speeders for quick and easy ground transportation. One person is all it takes to keep things running, but for optimal results and peace of mind a crew of four is recommended. Up to ten passengers can fit comfortably, and the ship stores around two months of consumables. Overall the Ghtroc is a reliable freighter that can be customized to serve the needs of almost every customer's need, legitimate or otherwise. [/background]
